A/N It's been a long time, but I hope, you'll like it. Maybe even comment... like literally anybody :P
For just a few seconds they were looking into each other eyes all of the memories of them came back. Every moment, every touch, every kiss. Alexia felt her heart beat faster and faster. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath.
"Hey Al, it's been a while" finally Sirius spoke quietly.
"Longer than I planned" Al whispered and looked up into his eyes "Is there a place we can talk here?"
Sirius smiled. nodded and walked out of the kitchen. Alexia followed him leaving everyone in the kitchen wondering what is going to happen next.

"That was my uncle Sirius you know" Kali whispered to Tommy as it was some big secret she was not to gave away to anyone. "I like him. He is telling me funny stories about this house and his part of my family. Did you know..."
Kali's babble was going on and on so most of the older people in the kitchen stared their own conversations leaving Tommy to deal with Kali.
"Everything went ok in the Ministry?" Regulus asked Jen and Harry kissing his wife's forehead and resting his hand on her belly.
"Well, I am no longer accused of anything. Dumbledore appeared and told them few things, even brought a witness who saw Dementors." Harry answered and smiled a little. "So they kinda had to believe him and let me go back to Hogwarts."
"That's great. I was sure you are going to make it Harry" Regulus smiled at him. "So, any plans for the rest of the summer vacation? Of course, accept to help us clean this house"
"I think Harry should finally rest a little," Remus stated breaking his conversation with Nate. "It is plenty time to clean everything here. And I am sure Molly will find something for every one of you"
All of the Weasleys just shook their heads.
"You mean US Remus, don't you?" someone adds.
"Em, you should totally see what Fred and George are working on right now," James whispered to his sisters' ear with a big smile. He nodded to George who stood up and the three of them hurried out of the kitchen. The last thing they wanted was adults interrupting their pranks. On her way out Emily kissed quickly Tommy who was still listening to Kalis' babble. Harry Ron and Hermione get out of the kitchen soon after.
"There is one place I want to visit," Jen said to her husband looking at their daughter playing with one of her favorite uncles. Regulus just nodded to let her know he is listening. "I want to go to James' and Lillys' grave. I know they are buried in the Godric's Hollow near our old home and I want to go there."
"I don't think it's a good idea. You will be there all on your own and it is potentially dangerous"
"So I will take someone with me. Monny?"
Remus shuddered a little when he hears his nickname and looked explained. "Would you like to come with me to Godric's Hollow to visit James' and Lilly's' graves?"
"I..." Remus started but Harry who had just walked back into the kitchen interrupted him
"When are you going there. I want to go with you!"
"No Harry it's not a good idea at all" Remus started
"I don't know. Probably next week." Jen answered at the same time.
"Can I come with you?" Harry looked focused on Jennifer's face.
"Hary I don't think it's a good idea. You are going to be in the spotlight and if anybody would like to attack you..."
"You sound like he was going to be there alone and helpless. Don't you think that I a perfectly capable to take care for both me and my nephew?"
"Jen, honey it is not about that." Regulus started knowing he'd already lost this argument. When Jennifer started to talk in this cold way it was over. Nobody would change her mind so the best tactic he invented so far just did what she wanted. "It's just the baby. I don't want anything happens to you."
"Where are you going to go, Mommy?" Kali asked from Tommys' arms. "I want to go with you" she added not waiting for the answer to her previous question. "Uncle Tommy will go with us, right?"
"Do I have anything to say about that Little Monkey?" Tommy smiled at the girl who momentarily shook her head no. "I thought so"
"You see yourself, Reggie, Tommy will go with us, and if not Monny, that I'm sure Nate would love to have a road trip to Godric's Hollow, right? And as for a baby, it's not my first rodeo you know? And I am not going to let anybody hurt any of my children. We will be alright. Even without you there to look after us." Jennifer looked into her husband eyes looking for a hint that she's going to get what she wanted. Regulus just closed his eyes and sighted resigned.
"You are unbelievable." He just said. "So when?"
Jen smiled with victory and high fived Harry.
"I don't know, Harry do you have any plans for next Wednesday?"
"I guess that my aunt is taking me to Godric's Hollow?" Harry asked with a spark in his eyes.
"Perfect, so it's settled."
Harry waved at them and left the kitchen with a happy smile.
"You are not the only one who can decide what Harry is doing Jen." Remus started quietly. "He is not your brother, and more importantly he is still a kid. We all care about him and want to keep him safe..."
"By not telling him important things about his history, his destiny etc. I agreed to Orders' rules not to tell Harry about the prophecy, but I still think this is a mistake. And the boy has to know his background. I am perfectly aware that there are many people who would like to make decisions for Harry, but actually, the only one who matters is his Godfather. And I will talk with Sirius about this trip."
"Sirius..."
"will listen to me and make his own decision. He is a grown man."

"So, they are over seventeen years old now?" Sirius asked walking into his bedroom right after Alexia.
"A few weeks ago they had their seventeenth birthday. "
"So this is their final year at school?"
"No, I decided to send them to Ilvermorny a year earlier than they should so they've already graduated. Don't look at me like that, they were amazing and I was on a good foot with the headmaster so... Now they have graduated adults. Or that's what I'd usually like to think of them."
"Can you tell me why?" Sirius sat down on his bed and stared at her attentively.
"You weren't listening to me back then." Alexia kneeled down between Sirius's legs and looked him in the eyes. "All you were talking and thinking about was this stupid war. And when I told you that I want to have a baby you had just laugh at me and say no way you would bring a child into this world. But it was too late. I was already pregnant. You had your war, you had your dreams and I was emotionally unstable, so I send a word to Nate to take me away."
"If only you'd tell me..."
"If only you'd listen. And observe. You would figure it out yourself Sirius."
"But..."
"Oh, just shut up. Moments after I was gone you went to that whore Dorcas and... "
"Don't do this Al." Sirius closed his eyes.
"There was a time I was up to date in what is going on with you, you know. And it was breaking my heart over and over again. But I still missed you. And I was angry with you. And I loved you."
Sirius pulled Al up so she ended up on his lap with her legs on both his sides. For just a second he looked into her eyes and licked his lips.
"Even when I was with Dorcas... I was thinking about you. And I was mad at you Al. I loved you"
After those Alexia lean to him and capture his lips with hers. Sirius pulled her closer to himself changing their position so she was laying on her back and he was all over her. Without breaking a kiss he touched her chick with his fingertips and stroke them down her neck and further. Alexia put her palm on Sirius's chest and gently pushed him away.
"I am sorry for all those years."
"Me too. And Al, I've never stopped..."
"Neither did I" She interrupted and kissed him again. Harder this time. More passionate. Their hands were all over each other bodies studied them again. Learning themselves again. Exploring themselves again. Eighteen years after their last time.

Once again all members of the Order of the Phoenix were gathered in the kitchen at Grimmauld Place number 12. Dumbledore was sitting at the top of the table, Arthur, Molly and Billy Weasley were closest to the door. Jennifer sat between Regulus and Remus. Sirius, on the other hand, was sitting as far as possible from Snape, next to Alexia and Nate. Tommy, James, and Emily were sitting next to Regulus.
"There are more and more people on Order meetings and this is good. It means that our case is relevant to many, and many are willing to support us." Dumbledore said calmly "At the beginning, as you know, I want to remind that only those who are already adults after school might be members of the Order. Miss and mister Rood, I know that you are of age but shouldn't you be in school at least one more year?"
"We graduated from Ilvermorny last year, sir" James stated proudly. "We passed all of the exams and fulfill all of the conditions you mentioned."
"How old are you?"
"17, professor" Emily answered proudly.
"Hmmm." Dumbledore looked at them closely. "I might have a special task for you. But let me think about it one more second. Meanwhile, for those who are not aware we've got some new faces tonight. Miss Alexia Rood was my student in Hogwarts many years ago so was mister Nathaniel Bizzloud. And there is another new member mister Tom O'Shea." those who were mentioned nod their heads to other.
The meeting went on and on and after almost two hours of discussing what Order should do next, Dumbledore was about to finish.
"Before we will end this meeting I would like to share with you one more thing. I have reasons to believe that some students at Hogwarts might support rising Dark Lord. Mostly Slytherins. I cannot ask you, Severus, to spy on your student's cause of many reasons but it would be an asset if we knew what they are up to. Since you decided that you are going to be in the Order I want you, James and Emily, to go back to school. Hogwarts this time. We would give you quiet sorting ceremony and hopefully, at least one of you will be sorted to Slytherin. Your task will be quite simple. You will observe what is going on among Slytherins and try to find those who believe in the purity of blood too much. Will you accept the mission?"
James and Emily looked at each other for a while. Go back to school, that wasn't the best thing they could imagine, but going undercover... that might be interesting and exciting.
"I'm pretty sure Em will be sorted to Slytherin." James smiled mischievously at his sister. "That's attitude of her" next second he was forced to bend down to avoid Emily's fist.
"We will do this, sir" Emily stated sending her brother murder's look. "Please give us some more details."
